My pet peeve of the weekend is Flash. The Macromedia one.
Not because it’s proprietary, closed source, or evil.
Rather, it’s because:
- It demands exclusive access to soundcard and fails if I have music player running (which I always have)
- The Linux version is just too old
Of course, if the player was open sourced, these problems would quickly go away…

That’s right. New version will use ALSA.
True, that doesn’t solve the “too old” argument.
